The Drumline Speaks

Verse

Amber light cuts through the smoke

Spears of gold across the floor

Bare feet moving on the concrete

Knees bend low into the roar

Strangers turn family in the dark

Hands up high where shadows park

Kick drum steady like a pulse in time

Nothing left but this one line

Pre-Chorus

Feel it rise behind your collarbone

Feel the floor start to move alone

No words needed, just let it go

Into the rhythm and back home

Chorus

The drumline speaks, it says move slow

Follow every beat that it throws

Let the bassline lead you through the dark

Where the shadows turn into sparks

Feet don't stop, hearts don't slow down here

Just the drumline speaking in my ear

Verse 2

Sweat and smoke rise up together

Hands find hands on this one floor

Amber light cuts through the dusty air

Every step becomes a prayer

Log drums talking in the deep

Nothing left but what they keep

Pre-Chorus

Feel it rise behind your collarbone

Feel the floor start to move alone

No words needed, just let it go

Into the rhythm and back home

Chorus

The drumline speaks, it says move slow

Follow every beat that it throws

Let the bassline lead you through the dark

Where the shadows turn into sparks

Feet don't stop, hearts don't slow down here

Just the drumline speaking in my ear

Bridge

No names on this dance floor tonight

Only rhythm and your body's light

No words spoken just a hum of steel

The drumline speaks and that's what I feel
